"Codified" mods for 1.3? (dev question)

Yeah, that was really the point, the mods fix stuff, and it's not worth dev time to reinvent the wheel. Elanaiba has already posted that nematode's research about the engine HP is going to get added.

Some stuff in anything like this is subjective, and that's where mods rule. Other stuff, like the HP figures used for the ships, or the bomb load of a D3A are NOT subjective, they are black and white---the value in game is right, or it's wrong. If that is fixed, why not just dump in the "right" figure if someone has already done the work for you?

In return, you've given the customer an expectation for the patch, and by including extra fixes beyond that expectation, you exceed their expectations, making the shop a hero.
